Progress in Explosion Mechanisms and Prevention Technologies for Direct Chill Casting Aluminum Melt Upon Water Contact: A Review

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Molten aluminum–water explosion triggered by leakage remains the core unresolved safety hazard hindering safe production in aluminum direct chill casting. This review summarizes its explosion mechanism, key influencing factors, prevention technologies, existing gaps, and prospects of intelligent multi‐technology integrated explosion‐proof systems ...

Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Surrounding Rock Control Technology of Thick Hard Roof and Hard Coal Seam Roadway under Tectonic Stress

In the process of roadway excavation in thick and hard coal seams with a hard roof, the instantaneous release of a large amount of elastic energy accumulated in coal and rock mass causes disasters.

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Study on Raindrop Dynamic Behaviour and Its Impact on Insulator Flashover Characteristics Under Airflow Synergy

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synergistic effect of airflow on rainfall behaviour significantly impacts the flashover probability of insulators. This study combines experiments and simulations to investigate the influence of raindrop dynamic behaviour, shed structures and rainfall conditions on flashover characteristics under airflow conditions.

Benefit Mechanism and Enhancement Strategy of High‐Proportion Building Photovoltaic Systems Under Carbon Reduction Constraints

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A benefit evaluation framework for high‐proportion building photovoltaic systems was established considering carbon reduction constraints and grid absorption costs. The study reveals the intrinsic contradiction between system‐level benefits and PV utilisation benefits, and proposes a dual‐driven optimisation pathway of effective generation and ...

Equal before time: on the sensory suspension of accumulated time in Sichuan, China Égaux devant le temps : suspension sensorielle du temps accumulé au Sichuan (Chine)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

GROWING GREEN IN US SUBURBIA: Property Value, Race and Domestic Landscaping Aesthetics in Mid‐Century America

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Much of the current popular and academic literature on the provision of green spaces is dominated by the assumption that ‘nature’ is an unalloyed positive, and that socioeconomic and racial exclusion from access to green spaces is a problem of unequal spatial distribution rather than of the form and content of particular urban designs.

THE TRANSCALAR POLITICS AND SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS OF INVESTMENTS IN SHOPPING MALLS IN AFRICAN CITIES: A Study of Accra's West Hills Mall, Ghana

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract A surge in the number of shopping malls across many African cities reflects capital's responses to the continent's growing middle class and deepening neoliberal globalization. This article develops an analysis of the transcalar nature of these urban investments using the case of the West Hills Mall (WHM) in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area (
